The Founding of L’Ametlla: Regarding the original centre of the town, the documentation is uncertain until you reach the last quarter of XVIII century. This is due to the momentum of the Charles III settlement when it emerged as the fishing centre of the village Perelló (which it broke away from on Christmas Eve, 1891), coinciding with the progressive arrival and establishment of groups of Valencian fishermen. Its evolution: During the nineteenth century, especially going into the second half, the town consolidated and grew significantly in population, with the influx of people from neighbouring villages (l’Ametlla began the twentieth century with some 2,500 inhabitants, half of the estimated current population). It also received a boost in fishing and agriculture and the commercial subsidiaries, powered by the separation process and the construction of the railway (1860-1870). The early years of the twentieth century were relative prosperous until the thirties recession made the people suffer and generated important migration weakening, which was worse that the migration to Palamos which took place in the years following the civil war, and lasted until the early sixties, when the emerging trend of immigrants and tourists transformed the demographic, cultural and productive face of the town.
